I saw these at JoshuaUn.com and they cracked me up! Thanks for some laughs, Joshua! Perfect advertisement for the back of a bus. *coughcoughcough* OK, this is not very funny, but I couldn’t stop laughing! Now THAT is so creative! LOL! This is my favorite. From now on, I’m checking those restaurant cups before I […]

I was visiting a friend’s blog and perused her little buttons and links in the sidebars. I am trying to join some of the “mom blog” networks. I clicked on the “Mom Blog” network button and was totally shocked to read profanity and filth as the number one blog on the network. Whoa! Maybe I’m […]

If you grew up in the 80s or have had a good history teacher, you have heard about the terrible tragedy that happened on April 26, 1986– the nuclear disaster at the power plant in Chernobyl, in Russia. I remember that news reports were very slow to leak out. At first, the Soviets downplayed the […]

I’m having a lot of fun playing with Entrecards. I have found a number of blogs that are really terrific! I’ve also found out that a lot of bloggers like porno pictures, but I won’t get into that right now.I’ve dropped my card a few times on the hilarious Daisy the Curly Cat. It’s at […]

I recently bought a new laptop with Windows Vista pre-installed. I have been waiting in the sidelines, watching others’ experiences and mulling it over in my mind if I wanted to make the jump yet. I’ve tried a lot of operating systems in my day: the first Mac (1984- I still have the old computer!), […]

We’ve managed to avoid all the stinking, nasty flu bugs and colds this year. Until now. I made the mistake of taking my youngest to the grocery store with me. Young mothers filled the grocery stores, and several of them had stuffed their young children into the carts while they shopped. These kids were hacking […]

Our plastic, generic shower head finally bit the dust the other day. The large retaining screw that attaches the flexible hose to the hand-held unit cracked. When we turned the faucet on, water came spurting out through that screw. My husband tried supergluing it, and that did work, briefly. My only recourse was to break […]

You know, those cheap little point and shoot digital cameras aren’t a bad deal. I have one– the Kodak EasyShare CX7300. It was given to me a few years ago. It’s only got 3.2 megapixels to it, and no fancy features. But it is a great, simple little camera! I am a believer in the […]

I’m Rebecca

I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
